I'm Back Online!

Daniel and I just got internet in out apartment, so I give you all an update :)

Daniel started school and is liking it alot. Surprisingly there are 4 girls to every one guy! I guess there are alot of women going into that field. he finished his first quarter of classes this week and will start the others soon.

Jada is moving right along in life. She has an opionion of every thing and lets you know it. She's discovered her voice and likes to let every one hear it! Whether it's in Walmart, Sacrament meeting or at home, she wants to be heard! The funniest thing was I had the Little Mermaid playing last weekend and she loved the songs and the action, and most of all the colors! She was sqealing like crazy through the ENTIRE movie! It was hilarious!

I spend my days handing Jada her pacifier, puting her to sleep and trying to keep up on the cleaning and laundry. I'm enjoying cooking now and am trying a bunch of recipies that I've never made before. I like to change a few things here and there and so far it's turned out pretty darn tasty if I do say so myself!

Here's one of my best ones so far! It's a Sweet and Sour Chicken recipie that my mom has. but I added pine apple juice and tidbits, teriaki sause, and cut down the sugar and the vinager. Oh and the peppers are a last minute add in too!

3-4 chicken breasts, cubed
1 can pineapple tidpits, drained (save the juice)
1 small red pepper
1 small green pepper
1 small yellow pepper (all peppers are diced)

garlic powder to taste
seasoning salt to taste
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup corn starch

1-3 eggs

1/4 cup vinager
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons Ketchup
2 tablespoons teriaki sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 chicken boulion cube
1/4 -1/2 cup pine apple juice

Coat the raw chicken in the flour, cornstarch, seasoning salt, and garlic powder. dip coated chicken in the egg, then brown it in a frying pan with a little bit of oil. In a pot disolve boulion cube in the vinarger and water. add Sugar, Ketchup, Teriaki sauce and pineapple juice. In a 9x13 spread the chicken, pineapple tidpits and the peppers. pour the sauce over them. Place in oven set at 400* for 40 minutes serve over rice.

Like I said- it was delicious! If any of you try it, let me know how it goes! Any way thats all for now. I have to re-figure out how to find my pictures cause we have a new computer, so that'll have to wait! If any of you are in our area drop in and see us, we would love some company!
